Perhaps a Rash Decision; Li Catches Perfect

Level 15 : Blinds 3,000/5,000, 5,000 ante

The bulk of the details from this hand were relayed by the players at the table.

Connor Rash defended his big blind against Bing Li's under the gun open.

Heads up to a flop of 239 saw Rash check-raise and get called.

Both players checked the 7 turn.

When the Q fell on the river, Rash went all in for over 120,000. Li made the call and Rash tabled 23 for flopped two pair but he saw the bad news when Li turned up Q9 for rivered top two, sending Rash adruptly to the rail.

Rose was in rough shape but he got a sweat when the 1097 scrolled across, although Mowery had two of his outs.

The board completed with the 2 and 3 and Mowery's jacked held for a near triple up, eliminating Rose.

Hutchinson Cuffed on the Turn

Level 13 : Blinds 2,000/3,000, 3,000 ante

A short-stacked Dean Hutchison was all in preflop against the slightly covering stack of Charlie Cuff.

Dean Hutchison: KJ All in
Charlie Cuff: AA

The flop was clean for cuff as the dealer presented the 286 and when the 6 came off the deck, Hutchinson was already out of his chair with his backpack equipped when the meaningless Q fell.
